Abstract
Microfibrillated cellulose, derived from vegetables or wood, can be used to provide a liquid composition which is compatible with a broad range of ingredients suitable for consumer applications, including enzymes, while still providing good structuring of the liquid composition, without affecting ease of pour.
Claims17
A liquid composition comprising:
- a) surfactant,
- b) microfibrillated cellulose derived from sugar beet;

A liquid composition comprising:
- a) surfactant, and
- b) microfibrillated cellulose derived from sugar beet,
- wherein the composition further comprises a water-soluble polymer.
A process to manufacture a liquid composition comprising a surfactant, enzymes, and microfibrillated cellulose, the process comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a structuring premix comprising microfibrillated cellulose, wherein the microfibrillated cellulose is derived from sugar beet;
- b) providing a liquid premix comprising the surfactant, wherein said liquid premix further comprises enzymes selected from the group consisting of:
- cellulases, endoglucanase with activity towards xyloglucan, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- c) incorporating the structuring premix into the liquid premix using high shear mixing.
